The Magellan Subcluster is a subcluster of star systems located entirely within the Calypso Deeps of the Local Supercluster.
It is situated coreward-by-spinward of the Golden Horn and rimward of the Encruzilhada Subcluster and Pillars of Hercules.
The Magellan Subcluster is comprised of ten star systems: Barbosa, Cartagena, Carvalho, Elcano, Gonzalo, Magellan, Mendoza, Quesada, Salle, and Serrado.
Etymology
The Magellan Subcluster is named after Ferdinand Magellan (c. 1480 - 27 April 1521), a Portuguese explorer best known for having planned and led the 1519–22 Spanish expedition to the East Indies, which achieved the first circumnavigation of Earth in history. During this expedition, he also discovered the Strait of Magellan, allowing his fleet to pass from the Atlantic into the Pacific Ocean and perform the first European navigation to Asia via the Pacific.
